Greetings!
The winter season is one of contradictory realities. It can be harsh and uncomfortable while it can also be serene and calm. The holidays we human beings celebrate this time of year are diverse and offer the joyous counterpart to the less enjoyable elements such as short days, icy mornings, and cold nights. It is also a time of surprises – my favorite.
A surprise dinner guest. A surprisingly breathtaking sunset. A gift that you were not expecting and that warmth of gratitude we feel just for the presence of loved ones.
Malheur National Wildlife Refuge may surprise you with the gift of a rare white-winged scoter or an American tree sparrow (photo by Rick Vetter).
You may surprise Malheur with a gift that will help to sustain habitat enhancement, wildlife and resource monitoring, and outreach programs. There is quite literally no better time to give than right now.
